Analiz...ributes(3pm)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, this manual page is Analiz...ributes(3pm) — section 3pm, i.e. user contributed Perl documentation — and it's all about Analizo::Metric::NumerOfAttributes, aka the Number of Attributes (NOA) metric. 👑

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So the way this metric gets calculated? It's based on an article, and it literally counts how many attributes a class has. That's the whole vibe. No cap. 🎀

The article is: Monitoring of source code metrics in open source projects by Paulo Roberto Miranda Meirelles. 💜

And here's the adaptation of the paragraph about Number of Attributes from that article, fr fr:

Calculates the number of attributes of a class. Its minimum value is zero and there is no upper limit to its result. A class with many attributes may indicate that it has many responsibilities and presents a low cohesion, i. e., is probably dealing with several different subjects.

So to say it in my own words while keeping every single fact intact 😌: the metric computes the number of attributes of a class. Its minimum value is zero — you cannot go lower — and there is no upper limit to its result, so it can just keep climbing forever. And a class with many attributes may indicate that it has many responsibilities and presents a low cohesion, i. e., is probably dealing with several different subjects. It's giving "girl has way too much going on" energy and honestly? iconic for a class, concerning for a codebase. 💅

🫶 heads up bestie: the minimum is zero, there's no ceiling, and low cohesion with too many responsibilities is the red flag this metric is sniffing out.

that's the whole page, and yes it's short — but it ate. 🌸 til next time, stay cohesive ✨ (this one came from the user contributed Perl documentation, perl v5.40.1, dated 2025-12-13) 💖🦋
